Mate, blown away you’d even mention me in the same breath as yourself and some of these others.
I completely understand where you’re at.
Try to write for yourself, with no expectations. Expectations are resentments waiting to happen. You have a following already, there’s just a lot of content online right now. Not to overdo the cliches, but comparison is the thief of joy, you know this.
You have something no one else has. Your story. It’s worth telling, especially as you grow and understand your own story more and more.
You’ll figure it out, mate. But please, keep writing.d
Thank you for the mention brother. I can tell you, every single writer faces similar struggles. I too compare myself to other, more successful writers and think I'm not doing enough or seeing good enough results. It helps remember that it's ultimately in God's hands, and also, to feel peace in the fact that what you are writing is in fact helping SOMEONE. maybe not millions, but as you mentioned, there are a handful of men who read what you write and appreciate and enjoy it. That's more than enough, and that gives meaning to your writing. After that it's all about staying consistent, trying to improve daily, and remember to not rush but rather trust God's timing.
God bless you and keep up the great work, from a fellow writer.

Appreciate the shout out Roscoe.
Write for yourself first and foremost. If others resonate with what you write, then that is just a beautiful, added bonus.
Some of the things I've enjoyed writing the most have also been my least liked by the metrics. I'm glad I published them anyway.
Keep up the good work. 💪
